Just a place for the odd thoughts, updates, and the detritus of my mind that doesn't belong on social media.

I Bless the World

Back in the day — when I was perhaps in my early teens — I used to make story books. I didn't know anything about book-making, so I used sellotape.

Recently I was at the Cymera SF Festival in Edinburgh, and I bought a book called Death Dreams at Christmas by J. R. Park. One of the stories Park includes in his anthology is one he wrote as a child, complete with scans of the original hand-written pages.

This inspired me to go and look out some of my own childhood books and take some photos. I took pictures of two, here's the first, I Bless the World
